Not worth the trouble - contained spyware
This was perhaps the biggest disappointment I've ever loaded to my Droid X. It promises smoother functions, more memory and simpler user interfaces. Initially it worked great for about a week. After that, it started acting very buggy. Before loading it, the phone and all the apps worked. Some were slower than others but they all worked without glitches. After installing this (advertised on the Amazon App Store as compatible for my phone), some of my applications would randomly stop or start up. Two weeks in, I received a warning message from Google, that someone in China had tried to hack my account through my mobile device. I immediately suspected this software and checked the time stamp of the attempted hack and the last use of this app. They matched. Almost immediately after uninstalling the software/app, the phone stopped working correctly. The unit would glitch on start-up and within minutes the screen would go blank. Think of the "blue screen of death" in a Windows environment or an infinite 'do-loop" from the DOS days. After multiple attempts to get the phone to work, I finally had called my carrier's customer service on my wife's identical phone in order to do a hard reset of the phone (ie, I lost all my data, calls, txt history... everything). After a full reset, my phone worked fine. No glitches or anomalies. Once the hard reboot was completed, I have slowly re-added most of the apps I had before. With each add, none have duplicated the glitch. I must it associate to this application. I would not recommend this software to anyone. I recommended to Amazon that this product be pulls, but much to my surprise, it's still out there and still potentially being used to hack or infect devices.
